“You don’t have to do this alone”. Hi, I’m Johnna, and I’m so glad you’re here. I work with people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply not like themselves—and are ready for something to change. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, past trauma, depression, or life transitions, my goal is to help you feel more grounded, more in control, and more connected to yourself. In our work together, you’ll find a space that’s supportive, nonjudgmental, and focused on what you need. I use a mix of effective approaches like EMDR, CBT, and to help you move through what’s holding you back and toward the life you want. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start—just a willingness to take the first step. I’m here to walk that path with you so, let’s get started and schedule a session with me asap.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help us create a tailored treatment plan for further counseling sessions. Therapy will be results driven to move you toward the life you want.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What makes my approach different is that I combine proven, evidence-based methods with a warm, personalized style that meets you exactly where you are. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership—not just a series of sessions—where you’re an active part of your healing journey. Whether using EMDR to gently process past trauma or CBT to shift unhelpful thinking, I focus on practical tools that bring real, lasting results. Clients often tell me they appreciate how safe and supported they feel in our work together—and how quickly they start noticing positive changes in their mood, confidence, and overall well-being. My goal is to help you not just manage symptoms, but to truly move forward and thrive in your life.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or carrying the weight of past experiences they haven’t been able to move through. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted by constant overthinking, self-doubt, or emotional triggers they can’t quite explain. If you’re someone who’s tried to “push through” but still feels held back, EMDR and other proven tools can help you finally find relief and lasting change. Whether you’re dealing with long-standing anxiety or know there’s something deeper beneath the surface, I provide a safe, supportive space to process, heal, and move forward with clarity and confidence. You don’t have to stay stuck—together, we can help you feel more like you again.

EMDR
EMDR therapy offers a fast and effective path to healing, helping you overcome challenges and truly thrive. It’s designed to help you move past painful experiences, get unstuck, and feel better. While EMDR is the gold standard for treating trauma, it’s also highly effective for anxiety, depression, and other emotional struggles. This powerful therapy taps into your brain’s natural ability to heal and EMDR aims to shift negative beliefs and emotional responses associated with the trauma, allowing individuals to gain relief from symptoms like anxiety, flashbacks, and emotional distress.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Sometimes, when life feels overwhelming, it can be hard to see a way forward. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is a powerful approach I use in my practice to help clients tap into their strengths, clarify what they want, and start making meaningful changes—often more quickly than they expected. With SFBT, we don’t spend a lot of time digging into the past. Instead, we focus on your present goals and the future you want to build. I’ll guide you in identifying what’s already working, uncovering your inner resources, and taking small, manageable steps toward the life you envision. Even if you’re not sure where to start, we can work together to define what “better” looks like for you. This approach is practical, encouraging, and respectful of your time. It’s especially helpful for people who are feeling stuck and want to see results sooner rather than later. If you're looking for focused support that helps you move forward with confidence, SFBT may be a great fit—and I'm here to walk that path with you.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have extensive experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), one of the most effective approaches for treating a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, and negative thinking patterns. In my practice, I use CBT to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, develop healthier perspectives, and build practical coping strategies. We will work on understanding the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I tailor CBT techniques to everyone’s unique needs—whether that means working on managing worry, improving mood, breaking unhelpful habits, or navigating difficult life transitions. My goal is to empower you with tools you can use in everyday life to feel more confident, resilient, and in control of your mental health. Ready to take the next step?
